Design Thinking for Development Cooperation a TEDTalk by Victoria Peter.

Victoria Peters discusses the problem of development cooperation between Europe (or anywhere else in the developed world) and Africa. She describes how the developed nations have killed creativity in Africa and how Design Thinking is one (good) way to bring that back.

Victoria believes that Design Thinking can create engaged citizens and engaged economies. She believes that Design Thinking can really reshape development cooperation by:

  1. Actively counteract the misleading picture of rich Europeans coming to help poor downtrodden Africans. 
  2. The results that come out of Design Thinking workshops will not reflect what we think is a good solution. It must resonate with them and them only.
  3. Design Thinking can help accelerate any project to the point of active citizen engagement.
